Childhood, education and human dignity: considerations on the educational processes of children

Journal Title: Práxis Educativa - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 1

Abstract

This paper aims to present a reflection on the urgency of establishing educational processes that respect children in their development and human dignity. The analysis, based on a bibliographical study, take as references Rousseau, Pestalozzi and Korczak, whose studies contributed to an understanding about the specificities of the child as well as the necessary respect for their human condition. The child is considered as a concrete subject, situated historically. In their way of living childhood produces culture and is produced in it, developing itself from the interactions it establishes with the environment and with those with whom it coexists. The study highlights as fundamental elements that need to be considered in the educational processes developed with the child: freedom, autonomy development, appreciation of the child for what they are in the present and the proposition of spaces of participation.
